Recommended Posts

They took Christine's video off Youtube. :thumbdown:

There must be others....Otherwise, it's going to be quite tricky to figure out the lyrics without being able to hear it again. :blink:

 

Yeah I saw that! :thumbdown:

 

Who the hell did it? And why? :boxed:

Starting...

 

He’s got looks, got books

Got pages to turn

He’s got a face to make you fall on your knees.

He’s got money in the bank,

[You can make it my guess]

You’d think he was livin’ at ease.

Chorus:

 

Blame it on the girls, ----------

Blame it on the boys, -----------

Blame it on your mother, for what she said.

Blame it on your father, but you know he’s dead.

 

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys.

 

Wow. Getting far. :no:

Do we have to discuss the lyric or are we just allowed to say that we are in love with the whole thing...the song....and the way he performed it:shocked::mf_lustslow::wub2:

 

No, you can say you love it! I love it! :wub2::wub2::wub2:

 

OK, I'm slowly but surely getting there with the lyrics... here's what I

have so far. BTW, I have to say in the vlog and in the videos, I believe

he's saying "he's got a face to make you fall on your knees"... That's how

I hear it in both places. Anyway:

 

Blame it on the Girls

 

He's got looks that books take pages to tell

He's got a face to make you fall on your knees

He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess

You could think he's livin' at ease

 

(Like lovers of the good book show?) -- what's the matter

He's certain there is so much more -- what's the matter

While you're wondering what the hell to do

Are you wishing you were ugly like me?

 

Blame it on the girls who know what to do

Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you

 

Blame it on your mother for the things she said

Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

 

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

 

Life is simple but you never fail to complicate it every single time

 

You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life

But you blow it on a bottle of wine

 

Like a baby you're (.....) -- what's the matter

Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter

While you're wondering what the hell to do

We were wishing we were lucky like you

 

Blame it on the girls who know what to do

Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you

 

Blame it on your mother for the things she said

Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

 

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

 

Life is simple but you never fail to complicate it every single time

You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life

But you blow it on a bottle of wine

 

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

Blame it on the girls

Blame it on the boys

 

 

I'm close... I mean, Mika, am I close? :naughty:

 

Give me another day and I'll get it

Oh yes, it's so hard to hear what he is singing and a little support from a written text is very necessary!

And I agree that he has developed as a songwriter, our boy is growing up!:wub2:

I totally agree with that, Robi! My only complaint about a few of the

songs on LiCM were that the lyrics were weak, or too repetitive. While

the music is fabulous, good lyrics are integral to a song too, IMO -- maybe

because I'm a writer myself, but I look for a lot of meaning in the lyrics,

and feel they give as song added dimension or depth.

These lyrics from the four new songs show

such growth as a lyricist, if he's responsible for writing all of them.

Of course, maybe in some cases Mika collaborated with others on writing them, but still, they provide a great deal of interest. As he said when

introducing Toy Boy, it's all about the words, so maybe he himself

is placing greater emphasis on the lyrics this time around, too. :wub2:

:blush-anim-cl: thank you!

this one? or the one i've just deleted? :fisch:

 

Actually I can't see any of them now. :naughty: (There's something wrong with codecs or I don't know what in my computer at the office...)

 

I was talking about the "Come a little closer I’m going to pull your hair" one, with the poor rag doll.

 

Edit: now I see it. It was the one you deleted!!!! :roftl:

:naughty: that one was cute too.

but i figured out that a wind up toy is a toy with a key that you turn and it walks or does things. (isn't it?:blink:)

this one is cuter :D

i'll change them randomly :bleh:

Yes, I think so! I like the cute duck too! But the doll with the phrase looked mischievous in an adorable way!
